Some finishing & getting to some Christmas stitching...

Hi everyone! The finishing mojo struck with the needle
roll-up I shared last time round so thought I’d let you see how that turned
out! I added fabric for the centre
rather than linen which had been on the front cover picture.

The fabric had been
a gift, as had the little acorn charm which I’d been keeping safe to use
someday.

As you know, I’m not
a confident finisher but I was pleased with how this turned out.

I’m trying to get
back to Christmas stitching on a Sunday.
Let’s face it, it is September and December will be here before we know
it! Here’s the recent Merry, Merry from
Country Cottage Needleworks. I loved
this one as soon as I saw it and had to add it to my stash. Well, you can tell how much I loved it as I
pretty much started stitching it as soon as I received it!

Using a 32ct from my fabric stash and the suggested threads

The fabric in the
background (which is a closer red than appears in this picture) is going to be used
for the backing – now let’s see if the finishing mojo strikes again for me to
finish finish it in time for this Christmas!!

I’m still not done
with autumn stitching, hoping to start another design soon once I’ve done a bit
of stash diving.

Hope all is well
with you and yours. Thanks for dropping
by my blog and for those of you who take time to leave a comment – thank you!

Good morning, Lois--I really love how you finished off your needle roll! It is perfect with the fall colored fabric and tiny acorn--great job :) I know you'll have fun finishing up that cute Merry, Merry ornament, too. I can't believe we will have Christmas here in just 3 short months--I need to get busy :)

The needle roll up is great! I do like that little acorn! I think 'Merry, Merry' is reallycute - love the colors in it. Ican see why you were anxious tostitch it.We'll all be looking forward toyour next projects....
